Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On March 14, 2023 Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Lea Habtom and Amanda Blesi met with Assistant director, Lucia Vargas, to deliver the findings for a complaint that was opened on February 2, 2023. The census for today was 20 infants being supervised by 4 staff in the infant and toddlers classroom. The complaint alleges unqualified staff are caring for infants. During today's inspection, LPAs confirmed with staff in the infant room that staff #1 & staff #2 did not have 12 units in early childhood education and in infant units. Assistant director could not provide LPAs with transcripts to validate core classes and infant units were taken. Based on observation and the investigation, LPA Habtom gathered that the facility does not have qualified staff therefore the department has found to be SUBSTANTIATED: meaning that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. Title 22 deficiencies were cited on today's inspection on 9099-D. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted with licensee.
